Recommended for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players. Our HAPI Slim Drum has a sleek design and can be carried with one hand. It has a powerful and full bodied sound. Our eight note tongue layout adds harmonic tones to each note when played. The bottom port lets the sound out to fill the room. Isolating rubber feet located on the bottom of the drum allow it to be set on any surface for play.

The HAPI Slim Drum is available in 5 different pentatonic scales:

C Major (C4, D4, E4, G4, A4, C5, D5, E5)

A Minor (A3, C4, D4, E4, G4, A4, C5, D5)*

A Akebono (A3, B3, C4, E4, F4, A4, B4, C5)

G Minor (G3, Bb3, C4, D4, F4, G4, Bb4, C5)

G Major (G3, A3, B3, D4, E4, G4, A4, B4)

The word "pentatonic" comes from the Greek word pente meaning five and
tonic meaning tone. It is a musical scale that consists of five notes
within one octave. Because of their arrangement, pentatonic scales are
often used to introduce beginners to music.

*This is the same scale on our Aura Drum in A Minor. The Aura Drum has slightly stronger high notes. The Slim Drum has slightly stronger low notes.

C Major. This is the highest drum scale we offer. It ranges from C4 (middle C) to E5. C Major is a very popular musical scale. It has no flats or sharps. It is also known as a "natural" scale. This drum sounds great with the HAPI Slim A Minor, G Major, or F Major scales. It also pairs up with our HAPI Origin drum in the scales of E Minor and D Minor. And, of course, it sounds wonderful with our HAPI UFO drum which is in the full C Major scale. This HAPI Slim is an octave higher than the HAPI UFO drum.

A Minor. A widely used musical scale. A Minor is the relative Minor of C Major and known as a "natural" Minor. Sounds great with Native American flutes in A. This drum will sound good with the HAPI Slim C Major, G Major, or F Major scales. It also pairs up great with our HAPI Origin drum in the scales of E Minor and D Minor. And it works well with our HAPI UFO drum which is in the full C Major scale.

A Akebono. The Akebono scale originates from Japan. It produces a meditative / exotic sound. It sounds great played with Western and Eastern instruments.

G Minor. A very moving scale. Mozart considered it most suitable for expressing sadness and adversity. Sounds amazing with Native American flute in G.

G Major. Known as the "people's key" it is one of the most popular keys in classical and modern music. This scale is great with guitar because all of a guitars 6 strings can be played open in G. The banjo is also usually tuned to G. This drum will sound good with the HAPI Slim C Major, A Minor, or F Major scales. It also pairs up with our HAPI Origin drum in the scales of E Minor and D Minor. You can also enjoy playing this with our HAPI UFO drum which is in the full C Major scale.

Customer reviews:

Beautiful addition to our hospital music therapy program! Patients, staff, and music therapists in our practice LOVE this
instrument. It's very accessible and allows those with limited movement
to easily engage in music making. It's full beautiful sound fills the
hospital room without being too overwhelming. Thank you.

I've had my hapi drum for just over a week now, I practice for hours
each day and it still amazes me the different sounds I get out of it.
The shipping was super fast, 5 days from California to Ontario. I would
give the drum a 10/10 I love the look, the sounds, the feel. Would
recommend to anyone! So happy with it.

I purchased my hapi slim C major to balance out my hapi slim A minor and
my D minor origin. these 3 percussion instruments are working
beautifully together. I am looking forward to doing business with you
again when you come out with your new hapi.
